On the afternoon of September 15th, the Swedish Embassy, ​​in collaboration with RMIT University Ho Chi Minh City, organized an exhibition and dialogue program on the Nobel 2025.

The initiative aims to bring the Nobel Prize closer to the Vietnamese academic community, while also concretizing the Vietnam-Sweden Strategic Partnership in science , technology, and innovation.

The event consists of two parts: an exhibition showcasing over 100 years of Nobel achievements and a dialogue with leading scientists from Sweden – the birthplace of the award.

The highlight of the event was a presentation by Professor Ulf Danielsson, a member of the Nobel Physics Committee, on the selection process for the award.

He emphasized that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. Besides effort and discipline, laureates often share common traits: passion, courage, and a necessary degree of "disrespect."

"'Disrespect' isn't rudeness, but rather not being overly reliant on existing knowledge, daring to think in completely new ways," Professor Danielsson explained.

Anyone in the world can win a Nobel Prize.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre newspaper , Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam Johan Ndisi affirmed that the Nobel Prize is a symbol of human achievement and global cooperation.

"Every year when the Nobel Prize ceremony takes place, the attention of the whole world is focused on Stockholm. As a child, I was fascinated watching those moments on TV," he shared.

He stated that this exhibition and dialogue demonstrates Vietnam's great interest in science. The Vietnam-Sweden Strategic Partnership, established in June, has created a solid foundation for the two countries to promote academic cooperation. The Ambassador expressed confidence that this relationship will bring about concrete developments.

He also expressed hope that a Vietnamese scientist would win a Nobel Prize in the future. The awarding committee always considers nominations from all over the world, evaluating each individual's contributions to beneficial innovations for the world.

"Everyone has a chance. Anyone, from any country, can win a Nobel Prize. It's an open playing field for everyone," he emphasized.
